iris festival 5k - set a personal record

I set another PR today in running the Iris Festival 5K in Keizer, Oregon.  I finished 4th in my age group and 56th overall with a time of 25:14.

It was hot!  Yesterday, temps reached 99 and at race time this the morning it was 80.  That was at 9:15 AM!  I had to slow my planned pace because of the heat, but I'm happy with another PR.  It's my second record in consecutive Saturdays.  Training hard is paying off as I continue to focus on improving speed this year.

I arrived at starting line first (does that count for anything) and put my game face on.

Others quickly joined me, but I had my spot.

Pressing toward the finish line on the last 100 yards.

Me and my iris.

We stayed and watched the parade after the race.

There were these pretty girls on horses that kept riding by and waving at me.  Watsup with that?
